Excellent progress made on the dress today: I gathered and sewed the skirt to the bodice. Purposely scheduled myself to do that on my day off, as hand gathering a skirt takes a chunk of time, even though this one's not a very big skirt, at 135". And then after dinner I started sewing the sleeves to the bodice. I've got one done, and shouldn't have any trouble getting the second finished tonight. I'm setting them in by hand, mostly because I'm lazy, and it's much easier to sew right next to the piping in the armscye by hand, than shove it through the machine and hope I got close enough, and then have to pick some out and redo it!

Yeah, I know I have a weird definition of lazy. xD
